Biochemical composition of Meretrix meretrix in the Bakkhali river Estuary, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh Joydeb Chowdhury Mohammad Saydul Islam Sarkar Md. Ashraful Azam KhanMd. Simul Bhuyan<p>The present study was conducted in the Bakkhali river estuary, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh from September 2012 to July 2013. Percentage of protein was the main component of the biochemical composition in the mussels followed by carbohydrate, ash, and lipid. The proximate composition of Meretrix Meretrix revealed that it contained protein (12.184-14.291%), lipid (0.721-0.922%), ash (2.435- 3.201%), moisture (77.0-78.9%) and carbohydrate (4.914-5.907%). The mineral content of the Meretrix Meretrix were Ca (0.601-0.801 mg/g), Fe (0.070-0.099 mg/g) and phosphorus (0.300-0.794 mg/g).</p> Annals of Marine Science - Peertechz Publications 2019-09-10 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/ams.000016 en Copyright © Joydeb Chowdhury et al.
